Thread: Pond Pictures

I want to build a pond and I am looking for something different than the ones we have built before. tired of building the same old shapes and sizes. Also I want to make this thing loud as loud as possible I want to put a water fall in it about 2 foot high maybe 2.5. seems like my water falls are never loud enough. thanks guys

If you're going to attempt a fall like that....
Make sure you cover enough area behind the falls (back side bremed area if you will) w/ enough pond liner so if you get a heavy rain, the soil behind the falls wont get too wet and shift toward the waterfall and pond. This happened on one of our jobs which caused the stone behind the falls to drop into the pond. We had to go back and bring in larger stone to pile up under the water falls as well as add an additional 5'X5' piece of liner on the backside. I believe the only reason the stone behind the water fall dropped was that the ground was already saturated and w/ very large amounts of rainfall in a short period of time, the soil expanded and pushed out toward the pond, causing the failure.
Lesson learned.
